So… remember how I said I was going to post about some of my go-to items I like to pack in my Modern Picnic luncher? Well after a rather busy past few months, I finally got around to it!
Bringing my lunch with me everyday definitely helps me cut down on excess spending and it helps me keep up with a healthy balanced diet that I follow at home throughout my work day as well. Another bonus, I get to bring a chic lunch box that also passes for a handbag.
As with my wardrobe, what I bring from season to season changes (I’m more prone to bringing foods that I need to head down to the office kitchen to heat up like soups, pasta/rice dishes etc) versus sandwiches and salads that are more ideal during the spring and summer months.
Here’s a few items that I often bring in my luncher…
Snack
Snack bar
Modern Picnic recently partnered with Larabar and any of their bars make a great mid morning or mid afternoon snack to help you power through. I also love the Apple Strawberry Fruit To-Go Strips from SunRype. They are made with real fruit and can give you a much needed boost mid-afternoon
Fresh Fruit
I love bringing fresh berries to snack on when they are available, seedless mandarins also make a great snack without having to deal with coming off a sugar high.
Beverage
Izzie (Clementine, Blackberry)
Spindrift (Blackberry or Lime)
Mini Bottle of Water
Main Dish
Wrap Sandwiches (a nice change from the average PB&J) and still packed with protein
Salmon Salad with Pea Shoots
Chicken Salad and Lettuce Wrap
Rice (VeeTee has the best Thai Jasmine Rice that is read in 2 minutes)
Top your rice with shredded or crumbled goat cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes (make a delicious topping for the rice and you get some protein and veggies along with it)
Campbell’s Chicken Noddle To-Go (the perfect soup to sip during a ZOOM or while you working on a project over your lunch hour!)

I love my Modern Picnic bag! It’s so chic and I get compliments on it all the time! I got the blush color, but I am loving that black too.
Both good color picks! I’m thinking about picking up another color too, perhaps in a larger size.
